There were many reasons that led up to the Civil War and states' rights and nullification are some of them. The southern people wanted states rights because they believed that the government was passing laws that were affecting them negatively. This why they began to nullify the laws. Nullification is when a state refuses to recognize or reinforce a law.The northern people did not like them nullifying the laws because they believed it made the government weaker. With theses two different sides wanting two different things, it made it hard for the government to make a decision and it just built up more tension.
